Deceased diver identified

The man who died after diving in waters off Key West Tuesday afternoon has been identified as 71-year-old Timothy Lee Jayne of Indianapolis, Indiana.

Jayne was found on the Vandenberg wreck. He was found by a group of good Samaritan commercial divers assisting in the search.

The group diving with Jayne reported to the U.S. Coast Guard they were on the nearby Joe’s Tug wreck, but that was not the case. They were over the Vandenberg wreck on a private rental 45-foot catamaran called the Free bird.

It remains unknown what led to Jayne’s issue in the water.

The assisting good Samaritan divers brought Jayne to the surface where Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission Officers placed him aboard their boat. CPR was administered en route to Stock Island Yacht Club & Marina.

Jayne was pronounced dead at 5:27 p.m. at the marina.

Foul play is not expected to be a factor in the incident.

Autopsy results are pending.
